Elder Scrolls V - Part 3

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

I feel pretty confident in my prediction that Skyrim will win far more GOTY awards than MW 3..

It probably will. Chances are though, Modern Warfare 3 will be a better designed game. Along with Portal 2. Batman Arkham City. Shogun 2 (which wont win anywords due to not being mainstream) and other titles. I'm not saying Skyrim isn't a good game, because it is. It isn't well designed though. Game balance is wack. Exploitable as hell. And many odd bugs.

Good example this is a un-killable NPC. Because it follows a quest line. Yet you can still stab him and level up till your harts content. He doesn't mind. You can do this with tons of NPC's.

Thats bad game design. It's not more immersive, it's obvious and easily fixed. Anyone telling themselfs otherwise are kidding themselfs. The scale and scope is commendable. The gameplay design, is not great. It's simply acceptable.

Don't get me wrong, I think Call Of Duty is crap but thats mainly due to uninspired stagnation. The actual design for what it is, is usually pretty good and I'd imagine better than Skyrims.

Just sent an email to Fox News about the video.

Anyone want to read the message I sent them?

 

[ProjectPat2280]

I dont think anyone cares honestly.

Shut up, numbie.

I'll read the message.

Here's the message:

Skyrim: Psychopath's Haven?
I found this video on Youtube, which revealed a disturbing insight into the perverse, strange mind of a Skyrim player. The video, called "Skryim sex life." shows a tour around a players home, with posed decapitated female corpses, some in chairs, but some with feet inside fire, all half-naked. The most disturbing part is that the player has the decapitated characters heads mounted in a sort of trophy case.

I thought you might find this interesting.

Also, if you source me, just refer to me as my user name on your site, thedragonator.

As you can see, I tried to make myself sound as typical a Fox News fan as possible.

 

[Supergirl]

Pshaw. Like a typical Fox News fan would understand the word 'decapitated'

 

[StrainedEyes]

Solid use of your time...

 

[Wolfwood]

And now we play the waiting game!


...The waiting game sucks. Lets play Hungry Hungry Hippos!

Skyrim fatigue has finally set in after I hit Level 40 and completed the Nightingale quests. Maybe its work but suddenly Skyrim feels like chore. I might take a few days off and get a little more adrenaline from Uncharted 3 before returning to the Elder Scrolls.

Careful with that. Switching a game you've played for a while with another one can really **** up your gameplay style. Lord knows that, when I switched back to Halo after playing TF2, I instinctively shot any teammate that couldn't walk through me.

Skyrim... with Kinect motion control and voice commands [PC].

Everytime I go back to Halo I accidently toss a grenade near my team.

So.. Let me get this straight.. Because I'm not a Liberal and I DO watch Fox New (due to it being aimed more at the Right... unlike MSNBC or CNN) I'm an idiot?

C'mon now people. You ***** about Fox doing **** like this but when they actually don't ypu do it yourself to get a rise out of it? That's what's wrong with politics these days... One side doing really stupid stuff to try to make the other side look bad and vise versa.

And I've said time and time again the only show on Fox that brings up game stuff is Fox & Friends... and they're not as much of a news show as they are a show aimed at the Regis and Kelly base.

/rant

In other words... Let this stuff rest. The less attention any news site/station gives a game... The better.

If you choose what channels you watch or avoid based on your politics, because it preaches to the "choir" you belong to, then... [BLACKOUT]maybe[/BLACKOUT] you're an idiot. I don't know. That's not very much to base intelligence on, but it is a pretty dumb thing to do in my opinion.

The "News" media in general is pretty ignorant when it comes to video games. It's not just Fox News.
I honestly hate politics. Not because I don't understand it, but because of the stupid fighting between the two parties. I'm a moderate. I agree with some points of both parties. But both have members that are idiots, and those are the ones that are loud and obnoxious.

If I'm being honest the ONLY shows I watch on Fox are America Live: With Megyn Kelly (because it's more law related) and The Five... Also, Red Eye if I'm up that late because Greg Gutfeld is hilarious. I have the morals and values of "old time" Conservatives but even the guys running as "Conservatives" aren't what they say they are.

In the past 10 years I've learned to hate what I used to really enjoy (Politics and Debate) as Politics as a whole is an absolute lie... No one in politics is a "good" or "truthful" person and debate, even among friends, often ends with name calling and bile spewing.

I just hate, absolutely hate that (and not just on this site) if you happen to watch Fox or if you didn't Vote for Obama, or anyone else under the Democrat flag then you're a racist/country bumpkin/idiot that probably barely made it through grade school.

Agreed.

I've often said that the crusade against video games wasn't started by a Right Winged Bible Thumper, it was started by, of all people, Hillary Clinton, Tipper Gore and Joe Liberman... Three people that are about as far away from right wing (well.. Liberman is an independent now I guess) as can be.

Like I said, I used to love politics... Political Science was my thing... but now I try to keep myself away from it. It's been invading the Skyrim thread though and when people act like anyone that's not of the Liberal midset is an idiot... I feel the need to speak out.

Didn't mean to derail the thread...

We could lead it into the politics of Skyrim and how being either Imperial or Stormcloak is basically selling your soul to the devil. I think my third character is going to stay out of those questlines.

It'd be funny if Al Gore left Tipper just because he wanted to play Mortal Kombat, but it was probably because she's crazy.

 

[Benstamania]

...Would Al be more of a Scorpion... Or Sub-Zero?

 

[Benstamania]

Maybe Reptile... Since he's green and all.

Umm...Not an American? Not catching the drift?
